JUST LITTLE TOO PRE-

A bill which puts the arbitrary measures of the Teutonic Hog, Bis marck, completely in the shade, has been introduced in the Illinois Leg islature. The raiIroading process has been applied to it and will un- doubtedly pass without delay.
 For an exhibition of pure and un- adulterated "gaIl' the document sab solutely without precedent.
 The bill provides "that anybody who advocates within the State of Illinois, either in speech or press, a social revolutions; or anybody who upholds or breaches a doctrine or theory which advocates change in the existing social system, shall be considered Q conspirator in any un- lawful disturbance hereafter occur ring in the State of Illinois, whether or not such person be in any way connected directly or indirectly with the disturbance: and 1t shall not be necessary for the State to prove di- rect connection with the disturbance in order to secure conviction as a conspirator."
 Thus, if an obscure labor agitator or the extreme southern boundary of Illinois should speak on Socialism tonight. and q dynamite bomb should be thrown in Chicago to- morrow, the obscure labor agitator on the extreme southern boundary of Illinois would be legally D0rijcepS crimiRiS.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

There are some men doing busl- ness in New Haven who have been
 refused advertising space in the WoRKMEN'S ADVOCATE. for reasons sufficient to the representatives of Organized Labor in this city. The WoRKMEN'S ADVOCATE does not knowingly advertise fraudulent firms, or houses who have shown enmity to the working-people, and its readers are pretty well aware of this, and as Il result recommend our advertisers to their friends and deal with them themselves. Now. we would like to know whether these merchants scorned are instrumental in sending people to our advertisers. telling them that the WoRKMEN 'S ADVOCATE is about to consolidate with some other paper, and so on. The absurd ity of such assertions is too apparent

GERMANY.

The bellicose cries, terrorism, off, cial machinery and the help of Rome, Bismarck obtained his military bud get for seven years; but the el ections throughout Germany has given fresh evidence that his iron empire is built on the sand. "'The new i'm pulses" ;" says the New York 7ribune, ''now stirring the depths of German character are dangerous forces which excite forebodings and anxiety throughout Europe The great vcte given for Socialist candidates, not only Tn Berlin, but also in other centers of population, indicates clearly the trend of political thought. The revolt against existing institu- tions is rapidly spreading among the educated as we'll as the working classes. Liberalism is swept aside, while Socialism, which Prince Bis marck has been powerless to SUD- press by drastic legislation, is becom- ing popular in its most revolutionary forms.' The election returns have shown that, though the Socialists lost several seats, they gained over half million votes in the country at large; and in Berlin itself the So- cialist vote rose as high as 95, 1000, though sixteen years ago, after the close of the Franco-G German war, it mum bered hut 2,o00. At this rate of growth, the Socialists will need but a few years more to capture the capital of Blsmarck's empire itself
 Our German-American comrades in New York, Chicago and other places, have, within the past week, held meetings of merriment over the news. And we'll they might. Tens of thousands of them have had hard experiences under Bismarck brutal despotism, agalnst which they have sworn eternal hatred.
 By the way, our Senators at Wash ington, who are anxious to hold the people down under heavy military establishment, may find instruction in the fact that even the German military machinery, which is far bigger and far more perfect than anything our Senate could construct in the next twenty years, though it may not be quite as defiant as the Seventh New York militia. is insuffi- clent to quell the spirit of revolt among the disinherlted masses who are filling the ranks of Socialism, John S~inton's Paper.

pear in H'ale's Fibre and fubric. which "believes in absolute indlvid- ual freedom" Here is one:
FOREIGN TALENT CHEAP.

"FOREIGN TALENT CHEAP.
 "The prospect of q war between France and Germany is not pleasing to the skilled help of Europe, and many would gladly come to this country and even accept inferior positions for time at low wages, until used to our ways. Wade's Fibre and Fabric is in n position to aid those in search of skilled help free of all charge,
 How do the weavers and spinners who are already suffering under the "absoutc individual freedom of Wade's sort, and the much admired Claw of supply and demand," like the prospect of a greater supply of cheap labor to compete with?
 But Mir. Wade fails to see the 'drugcry and wage-slavery'" we write about. Perhaps his associate editor, Robert lloward~-SeN0t0r Robert Howard, don't see as much of it as he used to, when he was plain Bob Howard, the spinners' secretary; for, as our contemporary says, his articles are now tread by the manufacturers while before, when his articles appeared in labor papers, they would reach only la- b0rerS.
 This sut1iccs to show the spirit of Ume'S Fibre oHd Fobric. While 1t is no doubt a good technical journal, and useful on that account, the workers will find that it's counsel in social political matters is of very doubtful value to them, however much it, may benefit the bosses if followed by its dupes.

ABOUT INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM,

Individual freedom for the working man is the best kind of freedom, after all.-HTtod Post.
 This, of course, from the stand point of the Post. Some three or four years ago the employees of the Post asked for an advance in wages of five cents per thousand ems. The proprietors did not grant it and there was a strike, which, owing to individual freedom, was a failure, and those who got back at all were hired as individuals and went to work at the old prsce. Just previous to this their better organized fellow craftsmen of New Haven had de- manded a similar advance and got it. A year later, with no particular inn provement in business and certainly when the P0S( was no better able financially than before, a concerted demand was made by the thoroughly organized newspaper printers of the city for an increase of five cents and it was granted and is paid to this day, in spite of the fact that the number of idle printers is constantly increasing. Does any one suppose that, had each compositor made an individual request for the same, any attention would have been accorded it? The Post or C0auant have never been noted for their philanthropy. Does the P0st think that, had the car-drivers of New York individually petitioned an investigation of their grievances, hundreds of thousands of dollars would have been added to their payroll and their hours re- duced from sixteen to twelve. thus giving work to 5000 more men The statement that corporporations have always been ready to treat in- dividually with their help comes with very poor grace after the down. ward drift of wages has been checked only by the combined force of labor turned against it. Nor is the defeat of D. A. 49 in New York as com plete as the Poa would have its readers suppose. and even if it were there would be little occasion for re- joicing by the opponents of freedom. Labor is engaged in struggle to get its own which must continue until it's every right is conceded, and a local defeat is no more decisive than was the repulse of the Union forces at Bull Run. Indeed, were the or ganization of labor entirely broken up and every K. of l.. Assembly dis banded, with the differences between capital and labor are in no way ad- justed, agitation and combination must be kept up until capital settles into the place ''in the structure of government" assigned it by justice and the laborer receives his own. - NaHgdtHck IgitatOr.

 The National Executive Board of the Knights of Labor is to be con- graduated upon the palatal head quarters which they have opened in Philadelphia.

 Mr. Carroll D.

We mstrusted something of the sort be- fore The present conflict will exist as long as the present system of cap italsm exists--or until both the K. of l.. and the trades unions are merged into Socialistic Labor Party.
 The New York .Itar thinks "that the attack made by the Central La Dor Union of New York, on T. V. Powderly, is a Socialist conspiracy to defeat the conservative policy of the General Master Workman, and embarass his administration of the affairs of the Order" The editor of the .St0r evidently sees through glass, smokedly. The G. M. W. never had any policy. As for embarrassing the administra- tion of the affairs of the Order, they could hardly be more embarrassed than at present. As a matter of fact, the embarrassment is all on the other side-on the side of the mem- bers.

 An interesting railroad suit is to be tried in Rochester, which involves the question of the punctuality of trains. General Quimby, city sur veyor of that city, took an Erie ex- cursion train to New York to attend the Bartholdi statue celebration. The train was billed to arrive at New York at seven o'clock in the afternoon. He now sues for one thousand dollars damages, IS he has lost all chance of ever seeing what he went to see. It is said to be a novel case, although, if we are not mistaken, the English courts have already held that railroads practically make contracts when they sell tick cts and furnish time tables to pas sengers. It certainly will be of in- terest have to the matter decided here. Another railroad accident has been decided. In the matter of the fearful accident at Republic, Ohio, the jury have rendered a verdict that the engineer was not drunk. but the victim of seventeen hours of contin- uous work, that the engine he had was worthless, and that the Balti- more and Ohio railroad is directly to blame for the calamity. - Courant (c0pita(isD.
